Analytical Services

LTS recognizes the importance of Analytical Services which aid in quality control and development for the majority of specimens supplied by our factories. With an excellent team of engineers and technicians, we are now offering analytical services for external samples. Our current characterization services include:

Scanning Electron Microscopy is an extremely versatile imaging tool used mainly to analyze samples at high magnification, and can resolve features down to ~3 nm. Our SEM, equipped with a variable pressure detector (VP-SEM) is capable of analysing non-conductive samples to resolutions of 4 nm. SEM is used primarily for failure analysis, powder size distribution, morphology, and composition.

Electron Backscattered Diffraction coupled with SEM, is an imaging technique used to investigate crystallographic properties of materials such as grain size, grain shape, texturing, phase analysis, and spatial distribution of phases.

Glow Discharge Mass Spectroscopy (GDMS)

Glow Discharge Mass Spectroscopy is a robust, standalone technique used to determine trace elemental analysis down to the parts per billion (ppb). Can be used to measure 72 elements, excluding gases (C, H, O, N, S)

$780.00/sample

Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS)

Inductively Coupled Plasma -Mass Spectrometry is the industry standard for trace elemental analysis with extremely high sensitivity for a wide range of elements. Capable of sub-parts per billion (sub-ppb) detection limits.

$460.00/sample

Instrumental Gas Analysis (IGA)

Instrumental Gas Analysis is used for trace to bulk gas (C, H, O, N, S) analysis capable of detection limits from parts per million (ppm) to percentage levels.

Through a partnership with academic and research labs in the Tri-State area (NY-NJ-CT), LTS is pleased to offer extended material characterization, including TEM, SQUID magnetization, LECO, DTC/TGA, Raman scattering, IR-reflectivity, thermal conductivity, and many other analytical services.
